By 10 p.m. CDT, it had weakened to a Category 1 with maximum sustained winds of 90 mph. The center was about 45 miles east-northeast of Pensacola, moving north at 20 mph into southern Alabama. It is expected to become post-tropical Saturday.
Earlier Friday, at 1 p.m. CT, the National Hurricane Center had Isaias as a Category 3 hurricane with maximum sustained winds near 120 mph.
